Lucian

I open the door and my foot touches the frosty grass. I inhale the frigid nighttime air. I'm running the second I am out the door. Everything is silent except for the sound of my feet hitting the ground and my heavy breathing. My legs carry me closer to the fence and before I know it I am past it and running down the street. No lights turn on, nobody comes outside, nothing. I know better than to scream and waste my breath and energy. At the end of my small dead end road, there are woods. Without thinking, I run into the woods and dodge trees from everywhere. I run until I can't move and the I lean back on a tree. I can barely breath and can't feel my legs. Static rings through my head. My hands leap to my temples. The static only gets louder and louder. I never thought I would die like this.
